Belfie: I don't know about babies and ultrasounds, but I had to have an ultrasound on my boob after I had Jude to check for breast cancer and it came up all clear ... just normal breast tissue. It was VERY reassuring to know I could stop worrying about that lump.

Jude woke up just once last night which was nice, last time he did that was on my birthday 6 days ago. Not exactly a pattern, but always appreciated. The community midwife came by yesterday and showed me a great settling technique when Jude was screaming all red in the face and choking.

She swaddled him and rolled him on his side so he was facing away from us. With one hand she held his shoulder and arm firmly and with the other hand she patted his hip/bum in a heart-beat rhythm, fast to match his heart beat and then she slowed right down and then held him firmly for a few minutes. It was amazing, Jude calmed down so quickly and went to sleep.

Tanya: Have you tried the above settling technique? I use it to resettle Jude yesterday (only the 2nd time I've done that successfully). It took me about 15 minutes for him to sleep but he was calm that whole time.
